What are you working on now?

[NostalgicGranny]

Wow July! 5 dresses! You are wayyy more energetic than I am.

I have never used a rotary cutter.

My hubby is building a shed. Will I ever be glad when he is finished and his tools and stuff get banished from the house.

Ooh, I'd love a rotary cutter but for now my scissors will have to do. Can't wait to see the pics of your flax bag. Hopefully I'll have 5 dresses finished this week the I can move on to easter gifts. I'm making wands for the kid's baskets.

I ended up getting a rotary cutter for just $5 on Sunday. I like it a lot.

We have a shed full of tools and gadgets, a garage full with toold and gadgets, and a basement that has at least two HUGE piles of tools and gadgets not to mention the tools here and there. I would love nothing better than to banish from the house....and he has the AUDACITY to complain about my crafts in neat bins....the NERVE

LOLOLOL I know just what you mean!!!

For a while my husband had gotten back into playing paintball -- not a cheap hobby. After about the 3rd weekend of play he asked me if I was ok with him going away every weekend. I smiled and sweetly said "No. I figure one more weekend away and I get to buy me the set of Brittany hooks I've had my eye on." He stopped playing paintball quite so often (but I still got my hooks!)

don't know what brittany hooks are (guessing crochet) but sounds like I may need to use that tactic

 

[Celticflower]

Brittany hooks are lovely wood crochet hooks. Mine are black walnut, which is no longer available, and cost about $7 a piece. I have 14 of them!

OK, here's a link to my newest flax bag (actually, this shows it in the slipcover--the bag itself is chocolate brown).

Don't be too impressed. I'm basically assembly line sewing. My girls each have one style they prefer over everything else so it makes things very easy.

Jen - I like the coffee bean fabric. Yummy.

JulySheMustFly You are blessed if your little ladies have one style they like best. My Granddaughters subscribe to 'variety is the spice of life'

Coffee bean fabric is cute. What are Flax bags?

They're little bags filled with flax seeds. They can be popped in the microwave to provide a moist heat pack, or you can stick them in the freezer to use as a cold pack for bumps and bruises and sunburn...that kind of thing.

Yes, I'm taking advantage of that for now. I know that time will pass all too quickly.

I make sequin calendars. I do about 25 each year. I've been doing this since I was about 13. That's a lot of calendars

How interesting. I bet they are pretty. Do you have any pictures to show us? I'd love to see them.

I'd like to see photos as well.

 

[NostalgicGranny]

I think I am going to try to make a flax bag.

Sign me up - I would like to see the calendars too!

 

[missmsdancearama]

I'll have to try and take a picture of the calendar. It might take me a while to get it posted

Tell me about it!! I do have a beautiful new spice shelf unit now. I decided to hold fire on the doors. I think I like it open. It goes well with the dresser shelves my hubby made for the kitchen.

 

[missmsdancearama]

I took a picture of the calendar but I'm having a problem getting it inserted in this. I'll have to ask Kittystorm92 to help me.

My hubby likes building things but . . . ummmm
